2010 Lexus ES GSV40 II

The 2010 model ES underwent a mid-cycle facelift. A slightly revised grille resembles that of the new Lexus HS, and the lower bumper and taillights are changed. Other exterior changes include chrome-trimmed side molding, turn signal indicators on the side mirrors, and new split 5-spoke wheel covers.

Memory seating, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags are now standard. The steering wheel controls now have hard touch buttons as opposed to the previous soft ones. The navigation system shared with the current Lexus RX now includes upgraded VoiceBox speech recognition, Bluetooth phone book downloading, and Lexus Insider, XM Weather, Sports, and Stocks reports. Bluetooth streaming audio and a USB port that includes iPod integration is now built into the stereo.
